“[…] anti-war government nig- uh, the, uh, America was a…” Written by Dr. Boyce Watkins<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n There are few people on this earth that I love more than Abena Agyeman-Fisher<\/strong>, the Senior Editor at NewsOne. A consummate professional and arguably the leading online journalist in the country, Abena is never someone I would accuse of being a liar. But this morning, after rolling out of bed and sitting at my desk in my gym shorts, I really thought my colleague might have been hitting the crack pipe.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDr. Boyce, Rick Santorum<\/strong> has a video up in which he refers to President Obama as a n*gger,\u201d she said to me.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat did you say?\u201d I said, as my face twisted up like a newborn baby eating a piece of broccoli. Even I couldn\u2019t believe what my editor was telling me, and I thought she\u2019d lost her mind.<\/span><\/p>\n Then, I saw the video,<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Yes, he said it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m sure the Rick Santorum campaign team is strategizing faster than Homeland Security after a terrorist attack to find any BS excuse to convince us that we\u2019re not actually hearing what we can clearly hear. But the evidence shows that Rick Santorum, who reportedly<\/span> spoke at the Armory at Janesville, Wisc.<\/span><\/a><\/span>, on March 27th, is running head first into the word \u201cn*gger\u201d as he describes the first Black president.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve watched this video 14.5 times. I\u2019ve meditated on it, prayed over it, laid hands on it, and sent it to my mama. I had to take a moment to thank God that Rick Santorum, in his conservative brilliance, has finally released videotaped evidence of the kind of smoking gun that many millions of us can use to prove that he is every bit as racist as we\u2019ve always known him to be.<\/span><\/p>\n
